Unintended Consequences (2017)

Raúl Esparza: ADA Rafael Barba

Quotes 

• Rafael Barba : Tell me you found something on Anthony.

  Olivia Benson : Not a thing. He's within four years of every girl he's slept with at Altbrook.

  Rafael Barba : So much for a rape charge.

  Olivia Benson : How is it consent when you're extorting sex from a fifteen year old drug addict?

  Rafael Barba : That is a question that the legal arena has yet to answer. Good idea for a law review article, though. You should give Carisi a couple of months off.

  [Carisi enters with Rollins] 

  Rafael Barba : What are you, a bat?

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : What?

• Rafael Barba : Sometimes on its way to "fair", the law misses "right". You wanna do something? Figure out another way in.

• Odafin Tutuola : You're looking at $40 million gross billing last year.

  Rafael Barba : Obamacare classifies addiction as an essential service, so millions more got coverage. Dr. Barkley stepped right in. Quadrupled his billing. Barkley's about to face an unintended consequence of his own: the New York State RICO statute.

  Amanda Rollins : Racketeering?

  Rafael Barba : Drug dealing. Rape. Insurance fraud. It sounds like a racket to me.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : I talked to everybody I could find who spent time at Altbrook in the past six months. Now, all of them denied receiving anything in exchange for sex.

  Olivia Benson : So we can't get Anthony on rape, dealing, uh, child endangerment, or contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : They're recycling these girls like they were empty Coke cans. Come on, counselor. Pull one of those rabbits out of your hat.

  Rafael Barba : I could. I could if we can establish a connection between Lux and Altbrook.

  Olivia Benson : We checked the corporate records. There's nothing.

  Amanda Rollins : No, when Carisi and I interviewed the... the cuddle girl about her Lux lawsuit, she said... she said that she was glad that somebody was finally checking into "those places". I mean, plural. So she could have been talking about Altbrook.

  Rafael Barba : Somebody at Lux must have a soul.
